From 1899 onwards, a narrow-gauge railway chugged its way up the Brocken in the Harz mountains. However, that service came to an end after the Berlin Wall was built in 1961. Trains have only been running again since September 15, 1991. Have you ever taken the ride? 📝▶️ www.ndr.de/geschichte/brockenbahn122.html?at_medium=mastodon&at_campaign=NDR.de #NorthernGermany #Train #Harz

Polish state rail operator PKP Intercity is launching a series of journeys along picturesque routes in restored 1980s trains to celebrate its anniversary and allow passengers to “discover new regions of the country at a leisurely pace”.

The weekend-only service, called “Nieśpieszny” (“Unhurried”), will begin operating on 17 April and will offer 40 journeys across all regions of Poland, with routes changing each week

I want to build a train in modded Minecraft which would fit into a realistic-ish solarpunk theme. My limited creativity left me with electric freight trains, however I'm sure that you have a great taste in pretty trains or a cool website with tons of train pictures, so I want to have your opinions.
